just a quality all round place to stay. For the price and location I felt like I had my money's worth. The breakfast I thought was a bit expensive at $38 but if that's all I have to complain about then we're doing well! A good go to for a quiet stay in Melbourne.

Customer service is in a league of its own, the staff are all happy, professional and welcoming, from the reception staff to the staff working in the bistro. Great location and easy to get around.
